Additional Information

The business informatics major requires 72 semester hours and is designed to prepare
students for professional careers using an informatics focused approach to control,
support, and enhance business operations and functions. Global business is increasingly
relying on the acquisition, deployment, and management of information systems and
services for use in organizational processes which is resulting in an increasing need
for information workers. The business informatics major will provide students with
a solid business foundation combined with relevant study of modern technology trends
and the impact information systems are having throughout business and society. As
demand for computer and information processing services continues to increase, so
does the need for hybrid business technology roles. This major will help strengthen
the knowledge economy in Kentucky and increase the availability of information workers
critical to attracting and retaining corporate interests in the state.
